Has anyone else been experiencing extremely loooong boot times? For some reason, my phone will boot fine after I flash the rom but if I restart it or let it die completely, it takes FOREVER to load back up.
[EVO 4G General] xNotta:
I am experiencing the GPS issue.

I'll supply more phone info if necessary.

I've tried resetting and re-downloading with GPS Status & toolbox, but it didn't help.

Is there a work around to make the GPS function properly again?
[EVO 4G General] stillblood:
Yeah I sit in the white screen much longer then I do on sense roms
[EVO 4G General] Vivix729:
Wiped everything. Started from scratch. No GPS Status needed etc.

Just wanted to update: my GPS has continued to be totally solid on every build of CM7. It locks on under 10 seconds, it never loses the lock during navigation or when tracking me in the car or during a run using MyTracks. I just finished and hour run and the GPS never dropped and the tracking shows normal (great) accuracy. I never wiped data coming from CM6, just both caches. I do have GPS Status configured to run every couple of days and download new GPS location data. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

The only issues I'm seeing on CM7 are two FC errors for "player" after disconnecting headphones (wired or Bluetooth, doesn't matter what kind of audio app) and I seem to have the same errors with Wireless Tether that someone posted about recently. Anyone have a fix for these? I don't want to wipe data incase that is related to the GPS problems.

Other than that, and the fact that incognito mode doesn't seem to totally hide previous URLs (they show as auto complete options in the browser) CM7 is totally awesome. Super fast, super stable. I think I have had one sudden reboot, that's it. Nice work CM team!

I live in Chicago and am having GPS issues. There is something wrong with GPS.
[EVO 4G General] THunDA:
Yep I noticed that myself when I played with the theme app it changed the launcher back round but once I swapped to the EX version I lost that.. not a big deal though I still like the way it changes some other stuff.

For the record, I updated from 6 to 8 and my gps seems to be working much better.. it followed me correctly during my drive to work today and also seems to pin point me much more accurately then 6 did.
[EVO 4G General] terryazthompson:
Maybe we can try to isolate this. My evolution is:

Hw3

Baseband 2.15.00.07.28

GPS locks sometimes does not stick.

Can others post their info?

What else might matter?
[EVO 4G General] THunDA:
I wonder if the PRI has anything to do with gps.. When I was using nightly 6 my gps didnt work well at all and I was using 1.77 PRI. When I updated to nightly 8, I also changed back to 1.90 PRI..I dont know much about PRI's except that they have something to do with the data connection.. dont know if they have anything to do with gps but I figured I would mention it.
[EVO 4G General] tx_jaycee:
You're using an old baseband. See here for an updated baseband http://goo-inside.me/evo/radios/

It doesn't have a build number. It says CyanogenMod-7. Perhaps you are confusing that with the build number.

[EVO 4G General] gbrazell:
So I can't do it from cm7 at all? That's strange...
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Nope. That's just the way it is.
[EVO 4G General] Sweetlittlehugs:

You can get your hw version in setcpu.

Didn't know that. Good find.
[EVO 4G General] terryazthompson:
Ok upgraded latest combo of radios. Verified baseband 11.19. Can't find where to check pri?

Still no good. Tried GPS status reset. That allows me to lock, but still I cannot maintain lock in maps.

I did not wipe anything.

Edit: I do wipe each time I flash rom - on nightly 8. And wiped everything (format all) before flashing 1st nightly.

[EVO 4G General] sminker:
So your saying your GPS locks and "Follows You"? Did you do a full wipe and flash of these Nightlies? Or did you flash over a 6.1 rom?
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Are you sure you can obtain a lock for longer then 1minute?
[EVO 4G General] galt:
Yes. Read my post a page back. Just did an hour run with MyTracks tracking me perfectly. No problems with navigation holding a lock either.
[EVO 4G General] Sweetlittlehugs:
I have no problem with carditrainer keeping a lock on me but maps and navigation won't.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Your excitement is one build too late. Build 8 is 2.3.2 and also has theme support.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Did you flash over a 6.1 rom or a fresh install? When did your GPS start working, what build #
[EVO 4G General] sminker:
Theres something missing. What are all your specs. Kernel, Build #, did you flash over 6.1, etc...

Im interested in why you have the only Evo that I know with a full GPS lock. None of the other GB roms including this one have GPS working like normal. Unless I missed a thread (which is possible since there are so many)

The CM team has a build bot that compiles all the Nightlies. You can see the status from here.

http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/waterfall

Sometimes the items needed for compile arent quite ready and they will error out. When it errors it just continues numbering them in numerical order.

Lol... btw is build 10 just a minor nightly update or is there anything major?

[EVO 4G General] galt:
I flashed CM7 right over the last CM6.x nightly (222?) with only wiping cache and davalik cache, data was not wiped. I'm not the only one with functional GPS, a few other peeps on here also reporting the same. I've flashed every CM7 build from release 0 except for one. Currently on release 8. Kernal is CM7 stock. I'm not themeing or flashing alternate kernals. I upgraded to this version of the Amon recovery before moving to CM7 : recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img

My gapps are this version : gapps-gb-20110115-signed.zip

I think early on I did use titanium backup to go back to a pre CM7 version of Google maps because I was getting a crash on Street View. I also used ROM Manager and ran the fix permissions at some point.

*Edit : I also tried testing maps GPS locking while 3g streaming Pandora and panning around in Satellite view in maps to force data transmission. GPS never stuttered, and I would know if it did because I have an Airrave that shows my location 20 miles away anytime I'm using my cellular connection for my location.
[EVO 4G General] bugaboo90:
Interesting GPS experience on build 10 --

Like vast majority of the folks, my GPS hasn't worked effectively on these builds, however, I just had a weird experience that I would like to share..

I did a caulkin wipe and loaded up 10, booted it up then once it was completely up, I rebooted and loaded up GAPPs. Put may google userid/password, turned on WIFI and let marketplace load up all my apps.

Once maps and navigation was loaded, I went straight to maps set it up and noticed the gps was going in and out as always. Then went to navigation and sure enough it was going in and out there as well. I also like to use GPS essentials, Satellite option to see what going on, and sure enough it would get a fix and then quickly go to "No fix" then after a little while GPS would come back on and get a fix. So, I messed around with enabling/disabling wifi, 3g, mobile data, rebooting, etc. to see if any of those theories would pan out... Nope they didn't... So, I decided, oh well, time to go back to a sense rom since I am about to going on a trip to a big city which has 4G. I went to xda and downloaded a bunch of rom, enabled USB drive on this build, transferring the rom from my computer to the EVO, did some cleaning up on the EVO SD card. Then, for whatever reason, I went back to navigation and I got a gps lock for 2+mins, then I went to GPS essentials and have had a lock for 10+ mins. So, this time GPS seems to be "Sticking"..

I did notice that when I went back to trying the GPS, the EVO battery area was cool versus before it was VERY warm..

Anyway, I really don't expect it to last, because I have been fooled before where GPS sticks for 2-3 hrs and then goes away.

Thought I would share...

Edit -- losing GPS signal again... oh well.. gonna try the CM6 to CM7 upgrade that Galt pointed out and see what happens..
[EVO 4G General] xfusejc:
Potentially stupid question coming your way, and considering this thread is already 938 pages, I am officially in the minority, but forge ahead I will.

What are nightlies?

Basically, if I install CM7 or CM6.2 or whichever official release is available, and then there are 'nightlies' for it, what exactly happens when I apply them (which I assume I flash to the device via Recovery).

Thanks. Just a general explanation would be great :)
[EVO 4G General] sminker:
Nightlies are unofficial ROM releases. Its when the Developers are working on a project and constantly tweaking it to get it ready for a full Stable Release. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont. Its a daily updated ROM, that is pieced together by a Build Bot. The build bot takes all the tweaks they did throughout the day and compilies them into a new "Nightly Release".

You can find a link to the status of the build bot in the first post of this thread. Its labeled as WATERFALL
[EVO 4G General] BB15:
Nightlies are nightly updated releases of the CM ROM. The CM devs are adding commits to the ROM daily to fix bugs or add functionality. Sometimes they'll be major updates, sometimes they'll just be minor bug fixes that are hardly noticeable.

You can keep track of what commits are going in by following CyanogenMod Source on Twitter.
[EVO 4G General] bugaboo90:
This may not be completely accurate but close enough...

To me, since the code base for cm6 is stabilized, nightlies really has no meaning, but since CM7 code is still in beta, people continue to add/change code so they compile a new "ROM" every night with the latest code changes for us to install on our EVO thus the name "nightlies"

I am sure my explanation is not for purist...
[EVO 4G General] sminker:
Good job team. Between the three of us we explained that pretty well.
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
The reason you are able to get a lock is because you did not do a full wipe between CM6 AND 7.

And regarding the GPS issue... the horse has been dead for quite some time now. Everyone is aware that GPS does not work. And it will not work until commits are added to the build to fix it.
[EVO 4G General] galt:
Just trying to help some people out here buddy... GPS is kinda important to most of us. If an everything-but-data wipe coming from 6.1 allows nearly flawless CM7 performance that might be a good workaround for some users until it's properly fixed.
[EVO 4G General] jerrygon:
Hmmm There is another nightly being built now. Any ideas why?

[EVO 4G General] scoobdude:
ran into an issue.

I had been flashing nightlies from 0-8 without a full wipe. Well today i did a full wipe and upgraded the gapps as well. Once i booted into the rom i got to the part where it asks you if you want to install all your apps now or later. I selected now which took me to the market. But i was unable to get out of the market. I finally did a reboot to make some progress. Which asked me to log in again but this time i skipped the download apps (since they were already downloaded)

1) Other symptoms is there was no lockscreen (off screen animation was working though but would open right back up to the market)

2) I used the clear all zip

3) reboot option only had reboot and power off

4) downloading apps is painfully slow on 3g

5) this is with gapps 1-20-2011

I also tried fresh flash and skipping the gapps download and all my apps were "refreshed" without being downloaded. However the gapps app received a force close once done and then it tried to make me log on all over again.

So not sure where that info should go but please feel free to pass it on or point me in the right direction please.
